to resemble a digitigrade leg, from canine and feline to fantastical demons, dragons, satyrs and even robots. They allow for realistic and natural movement as they are jointed at the knee and the ankle.Weta may well claim that these are
professional grade reverse leg stilt for creature and costume performances in movies, television, theatre, circus, street performances and other creative performancesbut such unnatural devices clearly have no legitimate application apart from appealing to the prurient fantasies of people who cannot control their perverse and insatiable compulsions --
No, wait, wrong image.
I for one am shocked and disgusted by the prurient fantasies to which these unnatural devices are meant to appeal --Feck and buggrit, can't find the right image. Time to clear up the hard drive. Anyway, here's a link to a demonstration.
Riddled already acquires most of its hits via Google from people searching for "furry porn snuff video", so we might as well run with it.
Bonus musical Youtube clip of relevance to
Bonus bonus speculation: the furry theme is a recurrent one in Fritz Leiber's writing. Why is this?
UPDATE: I don't know what is so special about the digitigrade gait but extensive research reveals that Tardigrade suits fail to impress the youngsters.
Ingrate, without Weta(tm), Nzild would merely be another Pacific isle vying for Chinese economic largess and missing out on the spoils of a very necessary Ozzie cultural hegemony.
ReplyDeleteThat's what the nice man at the Oscar's never said.
To be honest, I have nothing of any value to contribute, but I'm waiting for my shrimp to thaw, a process I prefer not to artificially accellerate, and the choices for passing time at this point seem to be limited to first round playoff basketball, scotch and Riddled.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I want to purchase a "professional grade reverse leg stilt", which sounds like a snowboarding trick more than a prosthetic body part, but then I have enough trouble walking upright on the original issue meat, so I suppose that's understandable.
I once woke up in bed with a woman who had leopard spots tattooed on her legs similar to the image in your post, something I found odd but not particularly unpleasant. She was insane and attacked me with a toilet brush, which was unpleasant on a number of levels, but you've got to believe me when I tell you it is incredibly difficult to defend yourself from a nude tattooed madwoman wielding a toilet brush in anger first thing in the morning. But it's healthy to laugh, and the sight of her oddly colored legs and glistening, heaving breasts was hilarious, if oddly stimulating...

ReplyDeleteAh, multi-tasking.

I would like to see that tested on Mythbusters.
Wait. Fuck! How is it that I am not learning about this blog until just now? Is this where mikey is hanging out now? Is there comedy and interesting stuff here? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
ReplyDeleteI would like to speak with the manager. Now.
here's a link to a demonstration
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was... I remain, sadly, unenlightened
(or, now that I think about it, gladly unenlightened, but provisioned with shiraz)
...somehow I want that to be "pedalling leg extensions"

Hi Dan.
ReplyDeleteChances are, you'll find the management at the Old Entomologist making footnotes on napkins and ranting about viking skulls.
If I were you, I'd stay well out of their reach.
But not to worry, their standards are remarkably low here...
So not true. We ban people all the time.
ReplyDeleteexcellent deployment of BOC lyric, sirs!
ReplyDeletea process I prefer not to artificially accellerate, and the choices for passing time at this point seem to be limited to first round playoff basketball, scotch and Riddled.
excellent choice on the thawing, but I wish to point out that the three choices you outline are not mutually exclusive.
Is there comedy and interesting stuff here?
ReplyDeleteNo. Occasional zombie content.
We ban people all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou ban TIGRIS all the time...
They allow for realistic and natural movement as they are jointed at the knee and the ankle
ReplyDelete..as opposed to us plantigrades, with bizarre and unnatural movements, what with our fused knees and ankles...
So is this the money you use down there in Wetaland?

I have been attending a conference on taxation strategies concerning Hookers and Blow otherwise I would replied more expeditiously to the attacks on Riddled standards.
ReplyDeleteHah! Sir.
We have prepared a list of standards to be applied in future on this blog but unfortunately the newest Satyr on the staff has eaten it.
Sir.
I see. 17 comments.
ReplyDeleteWell, more naked posts from me.
All those in favour of Substance putting his clothes back on, say Aye.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. I post naked all the time. I tend to operate on the theory that nobody can tell.
ReplyDeleteUnless I'm unclear on this whole internet privacy thing. Can you tell from my IP address?
¡Aye, Dios mío!

ReplyDeleteTo be fair to ole Fritz, he was also a boney.

Alas, nobody has a fetish for these bears.
WV-prickles... a real word??!?!?

ReplyDeleteThe concept haunts me, much as a spectre might haunt Texas.
You know, like a lot of people, I was strongly influenced by the science fiction of the period (The Lathe of Heaven, The Einstein Intersection, Dying Inside, Stranger in a Strange Land etc.) and I'm pretty sure I read some Leiber, but I always thought Fahfrd and the Mouser were CATS. I didn't dig the magicks, y'see...
